A son says to his mother:
"I don't like salad. I won't eat it."
His mother looked at him.
Then at the plate of untouched salad.
"Well now, I'm not sure that salad much likes you either...
But it's boy versus salad.
Eat or be eaten.
Eat it first before it gets you."
Later, the mother picks up his empty plate
And smiles.
The boy's therapist will one day note:
'Obsessively suspicious of tomatoes.'
